Get emotional support and friendship from others like you!

Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups. Since 2001, we have provided a safe, supportive place online to share your thoughts & feelings, get support and advice, share your wins and stories, all without judgement. Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

Narcissists, as in people with narcissistic personality disorder, are not psychopaths. They are also not people with antisocial personality disorder. Psychopaths have big egos, however, and I'm certainly not an exception to that rule.

What confuses you, exactly? Is it that I speak about what I am openly? Or is it that I am aware of what I am? Something else?

It still comes down to whether the person is willing to continue living around a behavior that makes their life miserable. Has nothing to do with misconceptions OR labels. Some personalities are just incompatible & that IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
